Description

Ethylene Glycol (1,2-13C2) is a stable isotope-labeled analog of ethylene glycol, where both carbon atoms are the carbon-13 isotope. This compound is essential for advanced analytical and research applications where precise molecular tracing is required. It is primarily used by scientists and manufacturers in the pharmaceutical, metabolomics, and environmental analysis sectors for use as an internal standard, tracer, or precursor in synthesis.

Application

• Internal standard for the accurate quantification of ethylene glycol and related compounds in biological fluids and environmental samples via GC-MS or LC-MS.
• Tracer compound in metabolic flux analysis and pharmacokinetic studies to elucidate biochemical pathways.
• Precursor in the synthesis of 13C-labeled polymers, specialty chemicals, and advanced materials for research.
• Use in nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy as a reference or calibration standard.
• Component in the development and validation of diagnostic assays and clinical testing methods.
• Research applications in studying chemical reaction mechanisms and degradation pathways.

Quality Control

Our Ethylene Glycol (1,2-13C2) is produced and handled under strict quality management protocols. Each batch is analyzed to ensure high chemical and isotopic purity, with comprehensive testing including NMR and mass spectrometry for isotopic enrichment verification. Certificates of Analysis (COA) detailing batch-specific results are available upon request.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry place at room temperature (15-25°C). This product is hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive) and should be handled under an inert atmosphere (e.g., nitrogen or argon) when possible to prevent oxidation and moisture absorption.
